[PATCH 05/23] powerpc/32: Clarify interrupt restores with REST_GPR macro in entry_32.S

Fri Sep 16 15:32:42 AEST 2022


Restoring the register state of the interrupted thread involves issuing
a large number of predictable loads to the kernel stack frame. Issue the
REST_GPR{,S} macros to clearly signal when this is happening, and bunch
together restores at the end of the interrupt handler where the saved
value is not consumed earlier in the handler code.

V2 -> V3: New patch.
V3 -> V4: Minimise restores in the unrecoverable window between
restoring SRR0/1 and return from interrupt.
